Lightning Brings Premature End To AGCO-Race Days Weekend

By Dan Voigt - Jackson Speedway Media Relations

JACKSON – With a line of severe storms moving towards the track and lightning closing in on the speedway, the AGCO-Race Days Weekend program at the Jackson Speedway was called midway through the evening’s feature events.

The KICD 305 Sprints, Performance Center IMCA Stock Cars and Forbes Meat Processing 360 Sprint features were postponed and will be run this coming Saturday night, July 24, Stimulus Night and Forbes Meats night. The first 1,000 fans to the grandstand on Saturday night will receive free Forbes Meats hotdogs with paid admission.

A red flag highlighted the KICD 305 sprint car feature, as Russell Wiese of Spencer, IA, jumped the rear wheel of Dan Jorgenson of Ringsted, IA, on the start and tumbled down the front stretch, getting some rare air before coming to rest under the flag stand. Wiese was able to crawl out of the car under his own power, but the car was finished for the night.

Nate Coopman of Mankato, MN, continued his domination of the Hornet Class at Jackson Speedway with another feature win on Saturday night. Coopman has won every Hornet Feature so far this season at the speedway.

In the IMCA Hobby Stock Class, Dustin Larson of Rushmore, MN, once again powered to the front of the field midway through the Hobby Stock feature to pick up another victory on the season in his 5L machine.

The IMCA Sport Modified Feature had a great battle as Greg Sidles of Emmetsburg, IA, worked his way through traffic to outlast Matthew Looft for the checkers in the final feature of the night before lightning prompted officials to call the night’s program out of safety concerns.
